Arianna’s blog…

New blog on the block: The Huffington Post

Political commentator Arianna Huffington will launch a news and opinion Web site next month including blogs written by more than 200 celebrities and leaders such as retired journalist Walter Cronkite, writer David Mamet and billionaire Barry Diller, CEO of IAC InterActive Corp.

“The two most interesting things happening online are the news and the blogosphere and what we’re doing here is bringing them together,” Huffington, a one-time candidate for California governor, told The Associated Press Monday.

One feature of the site, called The Huffington Post, will be breaking news drawn from Huffington’s network of sources.

Huffington said more than 250 people have accepted her invitation to write blogs - or personal journals posted on her new Web site - on a variety of topics from politics to religion, sports, architecture and entertainment.

Oh, this ought to be very, very interesting. The big question is: “Will they have the comments enabled?” No, that would just be too easy:

The site will not edit or censor opinions. Participants will include “Seinfeld” creator Larry David, Viacom Inc. (VIAB) co-president Tom Freston, former Colorado Sen. Gary Hart, DreamWorks co-founder David Geffen, director Rob Reiner, cable talk show host Bill Maher and actor John Cusack.
